Could ‘Smellicopters’ Someday Support Search-and-Rescue?
Our second INSIDER story today highlights an innovative combination of autonomous drones and live moth antennae: The “Smellicopter.”
The inventors of the autonomous drone hope that future work could have the moth antenna sense additional smells, such as the exhaling of carbon dioxide from someone trapped under rubble or the chemical signature of an unexploded device.
